I am on the Now Show on Radio Four tonight at 6:30 (repeated tomorrow at 12.25). I mention Henry Campbell-Bannerman. I wonder if he'll make the edit?

Also, some people have asked me about the 'Over 18s only' notice on the website for tickets for my sketch show. Ignore it! All ages are welcome, and there are no swears, and only moderate drinking of alcohol. (During the show, at any rate.) We had a ten year old in last week, and he seemed to survive the experience pretty much unscathed. I'm not sure he will totally have got the sketch based on the black and white Alfred Hitchcock film, but who knows, maybe he did.

And now, for people not in Britain, for whom this post has so far been a total waste of time: a picture of a puffin. (If you ARE in Britain, you're not allowed to look at it.)

NY152 and Miss Pear. I think you'll be fine buying on the door, but I can't be certain. Last week, there were plenty of tickets left - this time, I get the sense from Twitter etc more people have booked. My guess is that it still won't sell out before the day, but it's possible. I agree the booking fees are ridiculous, and I wish there was something I could do about it (The theatre picked the ticketing service, not me. And the booking fees don't go to me.) And yes, I'm doing one more Now Show in this series, in about a month.

2fishinatank. No. You may not look at the puffin when you are in Britain, I believe I was quite clear on that. I suppose I cannot stop you remembering the image from when you saw it in France. But if I could, I would. You've got to have rules.
